Chronicle Conducive To Books Innocent in Death (In Death #24)
The death of history teacher Craig Foster devastated his young wife, who’d sent him off to work that morning with a lovingly packed lunch. It shocked his colleagues at the Upper West Side private school. And as for the ten-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids, they may have been traumatized for life.Lieutenant Eve Dallas, of course, is more hardened to murder cases. And this is clearly a murder case. That lovingly packed lunch was tainted with deadly ricin. And Mr. Foster’s colleagues, shocked as they may be, have some shocking secrets of their own. It’s Eve’s job to get a feel for all the potential suspects, and find out why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant…so innocent.
Now Magdelana Percell – there’s someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve’s own hands. The slinky blonde - an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke, from his days on the wrong side of the law – has turned up in New York, and she’s anything but innocent. Unfortunately, Roarke seems blind to Magdelana’s manipulation, but not to her shapely figure and flirtatious ways. And he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about…and none of Eve’s business. Eve’s so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on the Foster case. Still, she’ll have to put aside her anger, jealousy, and heartbreak, for a while at least - because another man has just turned up dead, and the case is taking some strange turns and hitting some frustrating dead ends.
Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a façade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage.

First, I won't talk much on the murders on this one but the murderer? Oh man, it was damn right creepy. So unexpected and it was like a punch in the gut. I was thinking, can it really happen? Is it possible? Also a woman (who I want to b*tch slap)from Roarke's past is set to cause trouble and grief in their marriage. For the first time in starting this series, I did not have hearts in my eyes while reading about Roarke. Not happy with him here. Men can be so dense! And also for the firstAlthough I'm an absolute fan of this series, I'll be the first to admit the majority of the "whodunnits" in the books are relatively easy to figure out before the halfway point. However, Innocent In Death was a nice change. There were so many possible suspects going in so many different directions I was never quite sure who could have killed the innocent Craig Foster. The fact that throughout the story Eve herself couldn't even pinpoint a motive only added to the mystery's mystery!! When I
My favorite in the series so far!!I knew it was that demon!!
Suspense 4.5 stars / Romance: Roarke 2 to 4 stars, Eve 3 to 5 starsExcellent suspense. Despite I knew pretty early who was the murderer, the story was extremely captivating. Deep and psychologically well written. Bravo!Romance. Well, I knew about this book / OW drama for a long time. I was prepared, but still pissed 😤Damn, Roarke disappointed me. He was so blind and definitely led by his dick. His ex, Magdalena, whom he dated for a year 12 years ago, was a bitch, but very intelligent one. Yes, I
It probably means there's something wrong with me but it was good to see a bit of a shake-up in Eve and Roarke's relationship. The introduction of Magdelena, Roarke's reaction, then Eve's reaction to his, and most of all, Summerset's, somehow...it was just all really, really good. There was some really genuine emotion going on, as usual for her books with these characters. But deeper, sadder, more difficult. For the first half of the book at least, the murder seemed almost a distraction from the
The one where Eve investigates a murder of a teacher at a private school. It was creepy seeing who the murderer was. On a personal note, an ex of Roarke comes back into his life and stirs up some serious strife between Eve and Roarke. Eve can see shes manipulating Roarke, but Roarke is blind to it. No. And dont you saddle your high horse and think to ride it here. I did nothing to cause this. The hurled ball of fury merely bounced off Summersets composure. And nothing to prevent it. Prevent
